If, of course, I manage to get my own clothes packed.
I spent most of the day organizing Tully's stuff. Then the Tully diaper bag...which has to contain all the necessities for around the world travel: enough diapers, wipes, emergency changes of clothing (which we needed two months ago in Thailand when Tullser spit up all over herself after a very wind-y taxi ride to the airport), binkies, tissues (especially important right now because T has a cold and is a snot factory), animal crackers, Cheerios, a blanket, formula, bottles, food, and so on). I'm pretty sure this is going to be our heaviest bag. I need a mule to move it.
Now it's 7:52 p.m. and I just feel like lying down on my bag on the bed and staring at the ceiling. I don't even feel like brushing my teeth or washing my face. I'm bushed. But first, decisions.
To take my computer to Ireland or not.
The thing is, we aren't going to be staying in places that offer wifi. Andrew's brother's farm--no wifi (at least not last year).
See, I can blog from Andrew's computer, but I can't upload photos from it. So yes, I'll be blogging, but without photos. Two entire weeks of text posts. No pictures of black-faced sheep. No pictures of Tully's first encounter with a cow. No pictures of crumbling castles.
But the thing is, I kind of need a vacation from this keyboard. Yes, I have buttloads of work to do on the marketing for Thirsty and the second book and a gazillion other projects, but I need a break.
A break is okay, right?
So that's it.
Decided.
No photos for two weeks.
(unless I can get some of the O'Keeffes to send them directly to Andrew's computer....hhhhmmmm).
A break is OK! (and recommended) I just had one myself when I chaperoned Avery's choir trip to Flo-Rida.
